The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

"Knock knock knock—" Someone knocked on the door.

"Yun Shang, what's wrong with Yu Niang?"

Shen's worried voice could be heard from outside the door.

Yu Wan cried so hard she couldn't speak.

Yun Shang said, "Mother, it's alright."

Madam Shen was skeptical. "Then why is Yu Niang crying so loudly?" Was it because her son couldn't...?

Neither of them wanted to involve the Shen family, and Yu Wan forced back her sobs, saying, "Mother-in-law, I'm fine."

Hearing Yu Wan's voice, Madam Shen was relieved and instructed, "Yu Niang, if Yun Shang bullies you, you must tell me, and I will stand up for you."

Yu Wan responded.

Shen quickly returned to her room.

The crying scene was interrupted by Shen Shi, and Yu Wan couldn't continue. She turned her face away and didn't even look at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang was silent for a few seconds, then rolled over and got off her.

I got out of bed and turned on a lamp.

Yu Wan saw him leave the house out of the corner of her eye, and then return a short while later.

He was holding a piece of wet cotton cloth in his hand.

He sat on the edge of the bed and handed the cotton cloth to Yu Wan, saying, "Apply this to your eyes so they don't hurt."

Yu Wan looked at him in surprise, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

"Did you go out of your way to get this for me?"

Yun Shang remained silent. Seeing that she hesitated to accept the cloth, he simply placed it on her eyes.

He then looked away and said calmly, "Consider it an apology."

Yu Wan didn't touch the cotton bandage on her eyes, and muttered softly, "Is this your way of apologizing?"

Yun Shang heard this, looked up at her, and said calmly, "Yu Wan, don't push your luck."

"I believe you for now, but that doesn't mean I can forgive you." His dark eyes held a chilling coldness. "You should know what you've done in the past."

"Those things can't be so easily forgotten."

Yu Wan quickly removed the cotton cloth from her eyes.

She cried so hard that her eyes and nose were all red, as if she had been bullied badly.

She glared at Yun Shang with a fierce look on her face, "Tell me what I did in the past, so you won't impulsively try to strangle me again next time."

Yun Shang frowned slightly, but when he saw Yu Wan's red eyes, the anger in his heart inexplicably subsided.

He stared at her for a few moments, then pulled back the covers and lay down.

Yu Wan: "..."

Tch, can't say anything now?

If Yun Shang had personally witnessed or had evidence to prove the evil deeds Yu Wan had committed against Shen Shi and Yun Xi, she would not have tolerated the original owner of this body to this point.

The only reason they're keeping her around is because there's no evidence.

He was still trying to scam her.

Yu Wan touched her neck.

I felt scared for a while.

Fortunately, she was quick-witted and simply "revealed herself," which dispelled Yun Shang's suspicions.

This guy had indeed been secretly watching her, waiting to find something to use against her.

It seems she needs to be more careful in the future.

At least before leaving the Yun family, I must not offend Yun Shang again.

After quenching her thirst, Yu Wan felt sleepy and her eyelids were drooping, but the experience just now made her unable to lie down peacefully next to Yun Shang.

Who knows if he'll suddenly grab her by the neck again.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the burning of candlelight.

Are you prepared to sit here all night?

Suddenly, Yun Shang's voice rang in my ears.

Yu Wan hugged her knees with both arms, staring at her warily, and whispered, "...I can't sleep."

Yun Shang opened his eyes, his dark eyes filled with weariness and irritation. "If you don't go to sleep, I'll kill you."

Yu Wan: "..."

you are vicious.

She cursed under her breath, pulled the blanket over herself, and was about to lie down when she suddenly saw Yun Shang pull a dagger out from under her pillow.

and many more.

dagger?

Yun Shang actually hid a dagger under his pillow?!

What is he trying to do? Why did he pull out a dagger now?!

Yu Wan was terrified, a chill running down her spine.

Because she died of illness in her previous life, she cherished the chance to live again. She hadn't even had a chance to fully enjoy this healthy body, how could she die so soon!

"W-what do you want to do?"

Yun Shang glanced at her indifferently, then drew his dagger and lightly rubbed the blade with his fingertip.

Blood gushed out instantly.

He ignored Yu Wan's reaction, pulled back the covers, and squeezed a few drops of blood onto the sheets.

Yu Wan suddenly understood, and a blush uncontrollably crept onto her cheeks.

Yun Shang tucked the dagger back under the pillow and said casually, "Mother will definitely come to check the sheets tomorrow."

Yu Wan stared at his pillow and absentmindedly uttered an "oh".

This guy is hiding a dagger, has he been wanting to kill the original owner for a long time?

She knew that the male protagonist in the book "Torture and Love" was not a male protagonist at all, but a ruthless villain!

Now Yu Wan was even more afraid to sleep.

She lay down, but tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, her mind filled with the image of Yun Shang choking her.

"Yu Niang".

In the darkness, Yun Shang's deep voice was like a ghost.

Yu Wan was startled.

Then they heard Yun Shang say lightly:

"If we don't go to sleep soon, we'll do something that Mom wants us to do."

Yu Wan immediately became obedient, closed her eyes with a "whoosh," and said, "I'm going to sleep."

Perhaps she was too tired to stay awake, and Yu Wan, whose nerves were on edge, unknowingly fell asleep.

After she fell asleep, Yun Shang slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Yu Wan, who was still sleeping soundly.

The second time.

He softened his heart towards Yu Wan for the second time.

He had intended to kill her tonight, but he still let her go.

What he didn't ask Yu Wan was what exactly happened with those letters.

*

The moon was hidden behind dark clouds, adding a chilling gloom to the night.

Inside a private room at the end of the corridor on the third floor of the Jade Pavilion.

Manager Yun knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Before him sat an exquisite cloisonné enamel landscape painting screen. Behind the screen, a graceful figure lay languidly on a soft couch, slowly playing with a round fan in her hand.

Manager Yun swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My lord, I have done what you asked me to do. You see—"

A gentle, clear voice came from behind the screen, "But the person I want to get rid of hasn't left yet."

"May I ask, sir, who exactly do you wish to expel?" Manager Yun asked cautiously. "If you wish to expel that Yu family member, given your status, there's no need for such trouble. Just a word from you..."

"Manager Yuan, do I need you to teach me what I want to do?"

Manager Yuan immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "Yes, yes, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, sir!"

"At this point... Yu Shi should no longer be by his side... Has something gone wrong?"

Manager Yun vaguely heard the beautiful figure behind the screen talking to herself.

He quickly lowered his head even further.

"...That's enough." The person behind the screen spoke slowly. "Think of other ways to make the Yu family and Yun Shang divorce. Whatever scheme you use, remember, you must not harm the Yu family's life."

Manager Yun readily agreed, but couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He truly didn't understand what this important person wanted to do.

Initially, he was ordered to disrupt the Yu family's business, but unexpectedly, the Yu family went to Feibaolou to sell their son first.

The nobleman then ordered him to buy the prescription no matter how much silver it cost.
